fighting chance for the Republicans to
carry North Carolina, Tennessee. and West
Virginia.
8. or the states classed as doubtful Con-

they should carry oil the other doubtful
states and lose New York, they would still
lack IS votes OF enough. Or, II they should
carry New York and lose the other doubt

st. Joseph's Oh ureh Fair.

The congregation Of st. Joseph's Church,
Second and streets northeast, proposes to
hold grand fair and bazar at the National
Rifles Armory Hall, G street, near Ninth
northwest, commencing Easter Monday
night and continuing for nine days. The
object Of this fair is to raise funds toward
the completion of the church building,
which was begun years ago with the bright
est anticipations of success. Owing to
many causes these anticipations have not
been realized, and the structure has been
for eighteen years In Its present unfinished
and uns!ghtly condition.
The reverend pastor and his flock have
determined to use extraordinary efforts to
finish the church, and to rear an ediflce that
will not only do honor to the saint whose
name 1t bears, but also will be credit to
our national capital.
The congregation has never before sought
assistance outside its own members, but
yainly struggled with its work. Impelled
by urgent necessity and strong desire to
provide fitting place OF divine worship, 1t
ventures to make this appeal to your gem
erosity.
His eminence, Cardinal Gibbons, under
whose auspices the work is begun, has
kindly promised to be present at the open
ing.
Contributions may be sent to the pastoral
residence adjoining the church on Second
street or to any member OF the committee.

NEW STATES OF THE UNION.
Report Made to the House Recommend
ing the Admission of Washington
and Montana

Report Made to the House Recommend
Ing the Admission of Washington
and Montana.
In Its report upon the Senate bill to pro-
vide for the admission Of Washington terri
tory as a state of the Union, the House
committee on territories says that the vote
cast at the last election in that portion of
Idaho which the bill proposes to add to the
new state was 4,646, which at a ratio Of A.
represents population of 2l,S36. Adding
this to the population OF Washington, the
new state Will come into the Union with
107,905 people, or $4,000 more than the
established unit of representation. The
committee is Of the opinion that Washing
ton territory has all the elements of wealth,
every particular to enable her people to
successfully establish and maintain state
government.
The committee takes up the claim Of
Montana for admission to the Union and
after showing that the population at the
last election was 15l ,472 says that it would
seem that Montana contains larger pop
ulation than the ratio of representation In
Congress. Copious quotations are made
from tho governors recent message ex-
hibiting the financial condition Of the ter.
ritory, its vast natural resources, and heavy
exports Of mineral and animal products.
The committee then recommends that the
original Senate bill, which provided for the
admission Of Washington territory with
portion Of Idaho added, be so amended as
to include the territory of Montana, and
that the constitutions Of the proposed states
Of Washington and Montana be submitted
to Congress instead Of to the President as
provided In the Senate bill.
Another amendment proposed to the bill
Is requirement that the constitutions of
the new states shall include q provision
forbidding polygamous association or CO.
habitation within their Jurisdiction. Chair
man Hill, however, excerpts to this last
amendment In minority report, in which
he says he dissents from the majority of the
committee in requiring any religious test
whatever in the formation OF q constitution
for state OF the Union, or imposing any
conditions whatever, except that the state
constitutions shall be republican In form
and conform to the provisions of the coz
stitution of the United States.

sioner OF agriculture to make special dis
tribution OF seed In the drought stricken
counties OF Texas. The bill was amended
by reducing from $4,000 to $4,000 the ap-
pfopriation for the supply OF seeds. In It's
report the committee saysan unprecedented
drought has obtained in about twenty-one
counties Of the state of Texas; that this
drought has existed for more than one year
with slight exceptions, aud that there has
been practically total loss OF crops In
these counties, and that the great dearth
ara dettitution now existing are likely to
become more aggravated,
